The Isle of Man is about 127 miles across the sea from where I live. I've only been there once, for a week's holiday, when I was in my early twenties. I've got to be honest and say that I have never had any desire to go back. I just didn't care for it. Much prefer the Isle of Wight or the Channel Islands.
However, those photographs are beautiful, perhaps I just went to the wrong places when I was there.
Went on my first ever date on the Isle of Man, kissed my first boy there ... as the Beatles played on the radio (there must be a song about that surely?) - lovely memories, never been back.
